On February 27th, several cities will play unwilling host to protests organized under the guise of stopping “white genocide” in South Africa.

The reality is that these rallies are being organized EXCLUSIVELY by WHITE SUPREMACISTS. The idea was picked up on the largest Neo-Nazi message board in the world, STORMFRONT, by several individuals and organizations from D.C., PA, FL and more.

Rather than being concerned with the welfare of white South Africans (except for other Racist ones), these rallies really serve as a way for Nazis to once again mourn the specter of Apartheid Racism which once kept black South Africans as a servant class to the “Boer” colonizers.

These FASCISTS hope to frighten white Americans with stories of liberated blacks randomly murdering innocent whites. This serves to help hinder dismantling racist government and the free movement of people of color and reinforces damaging lies and stereotypes. One stormfront poster, going by “Genseric,” even threatened that… “It is likely to happen to this violent degree in America and Europe if massive immigration isn't squelched. And soon!”

These Nazis are going to be on their best behavior and attempting to portray themselves as simply anti-genocide activists. DO NOT BE FOOLED. The Florida coordinator for this event, posting under “MoJo,” referred to the United States as “a brainwashed multi cultural hell hole ripe with joo commies and chickens*** braindead Whites.”

There has been a demonstration organized by Anti-Racists in Harrisburg for the same time. Those attending the Anti-Racist demonstration should be on the lookout for these Fascists.

Jesse Abraham Deutsch (possible address: 2130 W 21st St Chicago, IL 60608) is a "national anarchist" AKA fascist scumbag. Jesse has large life rune tattoos on both of his forearms, "still ill" on his collarbone, a deaths head skull on his inner right arm and variations of ss bolts on his neck and elsewhere. . Aside from his tattoos he wears red laced boots, death in June shirts and has a Hitler-esque haircut. In our eyes, this combination of signs screams white supremacist, but taking a look closer, as any serious antifascist should, only confirms it.

Jesse has claimed to be influenced by Francis Parker Yockey who was involved with many far right causes around the world and remains one of the "seminal influences in many extremist right political and race / nationalist movements. He promoted; harsh criticism of Jews, German National Socialism and other Fascist causes." Jesse is also influenced by what is called “neo-Volkish movements”. “These loose networks revive or imitate the völkisch movement of 19th and early 20th century Germany in their defensive affirmation of white identity against modernity, immigration, multiracialism, and multiculturalism. Some identify as neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, or Third Positionist; others are politicised around some form of white ethnic nationalism or identity politics, and may show anarchist tendencies."

Jesse is Orcadian and German and originally lived in st.Louis. He then moved to long beach California sometime after 2008. He has attended Saint Louis Community College-Forest Park and University Of Missouri-St Louis Majoring in nursing and Philosophy and minoring in German. He does not define as a Nazi and actually calls himself a national anarchist and Odian. But it goes without question that Jesse is a fascsist and therefore should not be welcome in our city. According to word on the street, this message has already been delivered in a less than nice way.

I am a National-Anarchist and Odian. I am of Orcadian/German decent, with a little English in there for good measure! I have been actively pursuing a Study of Runic History, Lore, and Operant Magic for around 13 years. I also have an interest in the Hermetic Tradition, and the Aryo-Vedic one as well. As a National-Anarchist, I feel that it is fundamental for me to help "spread the word", so to speak, to other's interested in the Indo-European Traditions. National-Anarchism, as a current, is very compatible with our ancient Indo-European Tribal systems

The last time we saw NSM's Tim Durkan, former member of Church of the National Knights KKK, he was getting a well deserved ass kicking at the failed 2010 white pride world wide (WPWW) march in Chicago. After the march we released his information along with the other three attendees. Since then, Tim has appeared to be some what off the radar..until now. Over the past two years Tim lost custody of his son after abusing and threatening his life. Tim did this because his son had been diagnosed with Autism, stating under oath that "all special needs and disabled people need to be purged as they are genetic defects". Thankfully our website, including photographs of Tim at WPWW, allegedly helped to prove Tims nazi affiliations, helping land another important blow against Tim in the custody decision.Other then being a racist and abusing his son, Durkan also likes to hit his partners. He has charges of battery against two ex-girlfriends. He has since married Deserae Dawn Durkan and now lives at 7204 W. 53rd St. Apt. #2 Summit, IL, 60501.

ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corp. apologized Tuesday for the racially-hostile work environment at its Westchester office, acknowledged the “distress and hurt” it caused African-Americans and promised “further measures” to correct past “mistakes.”

Under pressure from Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Rev. Jesse Jackson, the company said it looks forward to meeting with former sales representative Montrelle Reese, the African-American target of the alleged discrimination, to “determine a resolution that is satisfactory to all involved.”

Rich Hussey, president and CEO of ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corp., said he also plans to discuss the matter with Jackson, who has demanded a thorough investigation before the company follows through on its plan to bring its North American regional headquarters to Chicago.

“We understand that these allegations have been the source of distress and hurt to members of the African-American community, citizens of Chicago, our employees and others. For that, we offer our sincerest apologies and recognize our responsibility in this matter,” Hussey said in a statement released by the company.

Hussey said the company has once again reviewed the allegations that, on Nov. 3, prompted the Illinois Department of Human Rights to find “substantial evidence of discrimination” against the company Emanuel proudly welcomed to Chicago last week.

“We have had to realize that mistakes were made. For example, the use of epithets to describe a tool to service elevators or disparaging remarks about [black] neighborhoods,” Hussey said.

“We realize that we need to take further measures to prevent the repetition of this type of behavior. … We will dedicate whatever time and resources are necessary to further educate our workforce on the lawful and appropriate treatment of all employees, including the engagement of experts to assist in this education.”

Arguing that “integrity, credibility and reliability define everything we do,” Hussey said, “There is no room in our organization for discriminatory conduct or harassment. The current circumstances will only lead us to redouble our efforts to ensure that every one of our employees — regardless of gender, sexual orientation, color or creed — feels welcome in ThyssenKrupp Elevator.”

Reese, 33, questioned the sincerity and timing of the apology.

He noted that ThyssenKrupp Elevator did nothing to punish his white supervisors or co-workers for frequently using the n-word or making disparaging references to black neighborhoods that comprised Reese’s sales turf — or anyone involved in a black-face routine at a company meeting.

“If they felt like that, they should have said it two years ago. But there was no disciplinary action at all by the company. … It wasn’t of any concern to them — until it became a front-page story,” Reese said.

He added, “It’s a cultural problem. What kind of changes are they willing to make? What are they gonna do differently?”

Jackson said he won’t be satisfied until there is “appropriate compensation” for Reese, a specific plan to “de-toxify the environment” at ThyssenKrupp and a hiring plan to diversify a workforce that had only “one black salesman and one black mechanic” at its Westchester office.

“They admit the obvious, but there is not yet a plan to compensate [Reese] for the violation or a plan to change the environment. You must have a plan that is enforceable,” he said.

“By now, [Reese] would have been more advanced, more promoted and more compensated if not for this act of workplace terrorism he experienced.”

Emanuel said Tuesday he knew nothing about the alleged discrimination at ThyssenKrupp until he read about it in the Chicago Sun-Times.

The mayor acknowledged that he pressured the company to issue the apology to put out the political firestorm.

“As I’ve said before and I’m gonna repeat: [I have] zero tolerance for racial, ethnic, sexual orientation — any form of discrimination. Those are not the values of Chicago. We have a core set of values and, to be a good citizen, you must enforce it and also educate to it,” he said.

“They’ve taken the action you saw today. They’ve done what they’re supposed to do. I want everybody to know that, if you operate in the city of Chicago, there are common values.”

Earlier this week, Reese told the Sun-Times he “never felt more alone in my life” than he did during the two years he worked as a sales representative for ThyssenKrupp Elevator’s Westchester office.

He described sitting in his car alone for up to a half hour prior to entering the building because, “I couldn’t handle being there.”

Reese worked at ThyssenKrupp Elevator from November 2007 until January 2010 before resigning because he could no longer tolerate the hostility.

Why do we wish to destroy prisons? Many radicals will say its because these torturous institutions “aren’t working”. But that ideology only helps to strengthen the prison industrial complex's attempt to mask its true nature. It is to assume that prisons and current(and historical for that matter) methods of punishment were created with a common goal in mind; to protect. This is false! Prisons must be destroyed immediately because in their quest to brutalize, torture, repress and most importantly control ..they most definitely are working. But the war is not over and there are many of us within and without these beasts with eyes wide open. We will have the last laugh.. and penitentiaries will fall

Following up on a very successful noise demo on New Years Eve, the Committee for Illegal Life is excited to announce another noise demo at the MCC this Valentine’s Day. No matter how critical of the holiday we may be, Valentine’s Day remains a time when we are told to celebrate those we love and cherish in our lives. Although we often concern ourselves with that which we hate, it is equally true that this hatred is the flip-side to our love for each other, for revolt, for friends and lovers we have yet to meet. Prison society, above all, is built in a way which seeks to separate us, to try to break the intense emotional connections that we build as we struggle against the State and capital. For those held captive by the state, so many remain separated from their lovers, spouses, parents, and friends, keeping them from being able to adequately express their love and their desire for others on the outside. Others, trapped in the invisible prisons of gender normativity and compulsory heterosexuality, are punished for being with their lovers on the inside. So many of us as well find ourselves imprisoned by misery and depression that comes with not having the romantic relationships that we’re “supposed to have.” The only love worth having is that which is a love for revolt and the necessary complicities that come with it. Join us on February 14th to reach out to friends, comrades, and lovers at the MCC to once again show that love and revolt will never be separated by prison walls.

*those expressly not invited: cops, snitches, rapists, people more interested in selling their politics, revolutionary organization, and/or newspaper than they are interested in the destruction of all prisons/ jails/detention facilities and supporting those behind bars*

Cece McDonald, A young black trans-gender woman, is being charged with two counts of second degree murder after her and her friends defended themselves against a group of white people shouting racist and trans-phobic slurs attacked her. During the confrontation, that was sparked by a glass bottle smashed across Ceces face, one of the attackers Dean Schmitz was fatally stabbed. Coroner reports show that Schmitz had a swastika tattoo on his body.

It is important that we show support to someone who has been physically attacked because of her gender and race and who is now under attack against a system know for its hostility towards African Americans.

CeCe is a creative and energetic person who, before her life was so unjustly interrupted, was studying fashion at MCTC. She had a stable home where she lived with and helped support four other African American youth, her family. CeCe’s family describes her as a leader, a role model, and a loyal friend. She is known as a wise, out-spoken, and welcoming person, with a cheerful disposition and a history of handling prejudice with amazing grace. Read about CeCe in her own words here.

There are varied accounts of what happened on June 5, but CeCe and the people she was with all agree on the following details. Around 12:30 am, CeCe was walking to the grocery store with some friends, all of them young, African American, and either queer or allied. As they passed a local bar, the Schooner Tavern, a group of older, white people who were standing outside the bar’s side door began hurling racist and transphobic slurs at them, without provocation. They called CeCe and her friends ‘faggots,’ ‘niggers,’ and ‘chicks with dicks,’ and suggested that CeCe was ‘dressed as a woman’ in order to ‘rape’ Dean Schmitz, one of the attackers. When CeCe approached the group and told them that her crew would not tolerate hate speech, one of the women said, “I’ll take you bitches on,” and then smashed her glass into CeCe’s face. She punctured CeCe’s cheek all the way through, lacerating her salivary gland. A fight ensued, during which one of the attackers, Dean Schmitz, was fatally stabbed.

The only person arrested that night was CeCe. She is now being falsely accused of murder.

CeCe was briefly taken to the hospital where she received 11 stitches in her cheek. Then, while she was still suffering both physically and mentally from this traumatic incident, she was left alone in a room for three hours and then interrogated, after which she was placed into solitary confinement. She spent the next several months in jail and had to wait almost two months between her initial doctors’ visit and a much-needed follow-up appointment. During that time, her cheek swelled into an extremely painful, golfball-sized lump, making eating difficult and producing headaches and pressure on her left eye and ear. Ironically, the only gesture towards CeCe’s well-being that authorities made during her incarceration was to put her in solitary confinement “for her own protection” on two separate occasions, despite her stated desire to be housed alongside other prisoners. CeCe was bailed out on conditional release in October of 2011, but has since been returned to jail due to alleged violations of her conditions of release.

CeCe’s friends have faced harrassment on the street by people they recognized from the scene of the fight that took place on the night of June 5. Individuals circled the block that CeCe’s friends were walking on and called them ‘niggers’ and ‘faggots’ and told them to ‘go back to Africa.’ When they attempted to wave down a passing squad car for assistance, the officer driving the car said he would not help them.

Help us fight for CeCe, and for an end to racist, transphobic violence in our communities! Visit our What You Can Do page and find out how to get involved.

An Elmhurst College student charged with a hate crime and accused of carving racial epithets into the window sill of another student’s dorm room remained in jail Thursday and is scheduled to enter a plea Monday in DuPage County Circuit Court.

Myles G. Burton, 21, of Libertyville, was indicted by a grand jury this week, accused of carving comments that included a reference to the Ku Klux Klan, into a ground-level window sill in Stanger Hall, an on-campus dormitory, according to police and court records. Estimated damage to the building is less than $300, court records indicate.

Burton, of the 1800 block of South Cardinal Court, was charged with a felony hate crime and faces two to five years in prison if convicted, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s office.

“Like any college campus we’ve had a few instances of defacement,” said Desiree Chen, managing director of public affairs. “This is not at all typical for Elmhurst (College) and that’s why the investigation was launched quickly.”

The carvings were discovered sometime during the first week of December, according to Elmhurst Police and school officials. The incident was reported to the school by the student and Burton, who is being held in DuPage County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail, was arrested on Dec. 8, said Det. Ken Lafin of the Elmhurst police.

The last time racially charged graffiti was found at the college, which has an 81 percent Caucasian student body, was sometime last year in a campus bathroom stall, Chen said.

No arrests were made in connection with the incident, she said.Burton was previously charged under Elmhurst village ordinance for underage drinking in public.

TORCH Points of Unity:

1. We disrupt fascist and far right organizing and activity.

2. We don’t rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us. This
doesn’t mean we never go to court, but the cops uphold white supremacy
and the status quo. They attack us and everyone who resists oppression.
We must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.

3. We oppose all forms of oppression and exploitation. We intend to do
the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement of oppressed
people centered on the working class against racism, sexism, nativism,
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination
against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest, and the most oppressed
people. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. We want a
classless, free society. We intend to win!

4. We hold ourselves accountable personally and collectively to live up to our ideals and values.

5. We not only support each other within the network, but we also
support people outside the network who we believe have similar aims or
principles. An attack against one is an attack against all.
